Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2 to 1-inch chunks or cubes. Ensure the pieces are of similar size for even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato chunks with a light coating of oil and your desired seasonings until they're well coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (or 390°F if your recipe requires it).
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato chunks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to guarantee they cook evenly.
Cook the sweet potatoes for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking. Check for doneness by inserting a sharp knife or gently squeezing a potato.
If they aren't fully cooked, add more cooking time, checking every few minutes until they reach your desired texture.
Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving. For whole sweet potatoes, slice them in half before serving.
